Whether you’re an active runner or standing for long periods of time, there is a good chance you have experienced some type of fascia.

If you are looking to avoid the dreaded shot or being in a boot, try these tips for relieving plantar fasciitis pain.

POWERSTEP INSOLES

The built-in arch support and heel cradle, stabilizes the foot and improves alignment. By giving the arch support the thick band of tissue in the heel experiences relief.

This motion control in the Powerstep insole, along with targeted dual-layer cushioning, helps absorb shock at impact to reduce stress on the feet, ankles and other joints.

THE STRASSBURG SOCK

When worn at night the device will apply a force which results in the reduction and/or elimination of the pain felt during those first steps in the morning.

The device holds the ankle and forefoot joints in a position of slight dorsiflexion that prevents a position of plantarflexion, that is the plantar fascia is not allowed to contract.

TRIGGER POINT MASSAGE BALL

The MBX by Trigger Point is recommended for a deep massage on the plantar fascia. The extra firm EVA foam compresses and “grips” tissue, encouraging blood and oxygen flow to enhance overall movement and range of motion.
